My suggestion was to include this in the 2.7 tutorial, section 6 (modules)
where the various syntax is described for import. Most of us don't dig into the
reference until we are trying to find something specific. The tutorial is an
excellent place to introduce

Mariatta Wijaya added the comment:
import as is documented, so I'm closing this unless you have other concerns.
Python 3 docs: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#import
```
If the module name is followed by as, then the name following as is bound
directly to the imported
R. David Murray added the comment:
Where do you find that it is not documented that you would expect it to be?
Because 'import' 'as' is certainly documented.

New submission from Steve Johnson:
I was wondering if you could do something like fiblib = import fibo or import
fibo as fiblib, and low and behold, the "as" variant worked. I find this very
useful, and thought it should be part of your documentation on "import"
